Luca Allievi
I’ve worked with Michael at the Intergalactic office during my last Canadian experience and I’m glad our paths have crossed. Michael is an experience managing director who acknowledges each of his team members’ individuality and strive to give it voice. He closely follows every project the team works on with passion and gives useful insights to every department. Michael always manages to carry out the work in a super professional way while at the same time being witty, generous and understanding. I highly recommend Michael as a solid manager.

Michael is a detail oriented consultant who is very knowledgeable in his business and very keen on business solutions. Michael sees the big picture and is eager to move any project forward in a thorough and efficient manner as well as ensure the success of any project he works on. It was a joy to work with Michael and he was well liked by everyone on the team. I would definitely work with Michael again.
